SUN, JAN 14 2024-theGBJournal|The Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire emphatically beat Guinea-Bissau 2-0 in Saturday night’s opening game of the TotalEnergies CAF African Cup of Nations.
The Ivoiriens, looking for their third Cup glory since wins in 1992 and 2015, scored within just four minutes of the game.
Controversial midfielder Seko Fofana (Man of the Match), gave the Elephants the goal with a blast from just outside the 18 yards box.
Jean-Philippe Krasso scored the second goal after the break from within the box and after some crafty ball control.
The Elephants takes on Nigeria in their second group stage match on Wednesday at the Alassane Quattara Stadium.
